![]() These wonderful people are my superstars and writer friends. They warn me when I’m skating too close to a trope, or when I use a phrase that’s out of vogue. They’re my inner network-people I trust as a tribe member. Some people in my network I can ask a favor for just about anything. And knowing their strengths and preferences, I can call on them for a variety of projects. As long as I respect them and am interested in their work, and if they do me a good deed in return, they become part of my network. For one, the people in my network don’t have to get along, or even like each other. ![]() But there are advantages to a network too. If you can find a tribe who really supports you, stick with them. ![]() The advantages of a tribe are obvious, and I think the world of them. And I have to tell you, I really appreciate my network because they’re there for me when I need them the most. ![]() Instead, I travel across this lonely country made up of a white sheet with blue lines attempting to put two coherent words together on my own.īut all is not lost! Not at all, in fact. It would be wonderful to be part of a tribe, but alas I haven’t found mine. Tribespeople are people you trust with that work that is most sacred to you…your story. A writer’s tribe (as I understand it because I don’t have one) is a close-knit group who reviews each other’s work and provides useful feedback. ![]()
